How to make 2 Ingredient Bagels
Ingredients:
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup plain (non-fat Greek yogurt)

Directions:
- In a bowl, combine the flour and Greek yogurt using a wooden spoon.

- Shape each piece into a long log about 4 to 6 inches long. Pinch the ends together to form the bagel shape.
- Place each bagel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- Prepare the egg wash by beating the egg with one teaspoon of water. Brush the egg wash on top of each bagel and add your preferred seasonings.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 22 minutes.
- After 22 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and increase the temperature to 450°F.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the tops of the bagels are browned.
- Store the bagels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
